How to Make Your Video To replay video, reload this page in your browser What we need is a simple video clip. You don’t have to be Steven Spielberg! You can even shoot it with a cell phone. In fact, shooting it with a cell phone is the easiest way to record it and share it with us. Your video, by the way, will become part of your legal file, so you don’t need to worry about it showing up on the Internet. The technical quality of the “production” doesn’t matter. All that we need is to be able to clearly see your disorder as it happens. Here’s all you need to do. Use a sturdy kitchen chair with no arms. Place it against as plain a background in your home as you can. Make sure there is plenty of light where you will sit. Have whoever is taking the video stand close to you so that the part of your body with the disorder fills most of the screen. This is important. If your disorder involves your mouth, for instance, the camera screen should only see your head and shoulders. Take as many clips as you need to adequately show the disorder happening. Start by speaking your full name as clearly as you can, then give your date of birth. This is all the talking you need to do. When the camera is showing your disorder, it is okay to simply state the nature of the disorder. For instance, “As you can see, I can’t stop smacking my lips,” or “I have constant episodes of my hands jerking.” Silence is fine, though. The important thing is to have the video clearly show your disorder. One final word of advice: Whatever your disorder is, don’t exaggerate it for the camera. Doing so could undermine your claim. Chances are you will shoot a separate short clip for each disorder. Simply repeat your full name and date of birth at the beginning of each separate clip. Once you’ve taken the video clips you need to get them to us. If you use your cell phone, you might be able to send the video straight from your phone. Email it to video@RalphPittle.com. If you shoot it using a regular video camera, you’ll need to convert it to a digital file before you can send it to us. FedExKinko’s or another local retailer in your area might be able to convert it to a CD. You can then mail the CD to us. Depending on where you get it done, converting a videotape to digital form can take up to 4 weeks and can cost from $15 to $50. The idea of using cell phone video is looking pretty good! Please complete the other forms in this packet before you shoot your video. The most important things for building your case right now is that you sign and return the fee agreement as well as the form that allows us to get your medical records, and that you complete and return the Health History Questionnaire.
